Honey Baklava Made with Margarine

This honeyed Turkish sweet is loved the world over! Baklava is an ancient Middle Eastern treat. When I came across this honey version, I jotted the recipe down in my cooking notebook for later — and I'd suggest you do the same. It's a temptingly delicious dessert.

  • I love Middle Eastern sweets and collect recipes for making them — sweets really are the best food in the world. Let me share a recipe for honey baklava that I picked up in Sochi during a summer vacation. First, make the dough: melt the margarine in a water bath, then beat in the eggs and mix well. Pour in a cup of water, add a little salt, and finally add the flour in a thin stream, stirring constantly. Right away, stir in baking soda slaked with vinegar. Knead the dough — it should come together like a noodle dough. Chill it in the refrigerator for two hours. Meanwhile, make the syrup: heat the water and dissolve the sugar and honey in it, bring it to a boil, take it off the heat, and let it cool a little. Take the dough out of the fridge, roll it out thinly, and cut it into strips as you would for noodles; you can tie them into shapes if you like. Deep-fry each strip, turning to brown both sides until golden. Dip the fried baklava fully into the syrup for 2–3 seconds, then set it on a platter to cool. Chop walnuts and scatter them over the top. Enjoy!
